Hi Marilynn,
Congratulations your blog worked well and you have certainly done some
well constructed prints since Bootcamp. I also liked some of your
floral watercolours. It would be nice to be able to see them in real
time.

Time to snatch a few minutes and put up a blog update ... Lee-san has just gone home after another three days of work here, and I have a few minutes to myself. We still don't have a finished sample case to show everybody, but we've pushed things forward quite a bit. Actually, we've spent the past three days up to our neck in alligators ... one problem after another, and we're getting quite proud of our ability to shoot them away as they rise up to bite us!

This tool, we have had no problem with at all - a beautiful (and powerful) Hitachi router. Lee is putting a straight face on each board, before starting the work of ripping the stock to the widths we need:

While I was away all the ingredients came magically through the various carriers and so we have ink and paper. All that is left is the last of the carving around the big blocks and to load the truck.

This post is also a last call for those of you who may have moved since you signed up for the project. Please update your physical mailing address by sending me an email, as mailing big tubes back and forth can get pricey.

I will update the blog . . .
